I'm sorry about
my email and the "carb-sugar thing" what I meant was when you were reading a
label because sugars are DEFINITELY a carb but when I went to reading labels
like on a jar of p-nut butter it might read

Carbs:
7

Sugar: 3

and then I'd think...oh, 10 carbs
but in actuallity it's only 7! I went yeahhhhhh as I had been doing that
with everything I looked at on the LABELS. Twas' good news to me!
:o)

Sorry if I didn't explain myself well. Hope everyone's had a good
and happy Monday.

Subject: trans fats

Hello

So many products have trans fat in them it would be easier to list
the ones that do not.

When you read the words on the label-
PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OIL you know that product contains TRANS FAT. The
process involved is they pump the oil full of hydrogen turning it into a
solid. Which makes it hard for the body to break down and use.

Incidentally, my son who is a pathologist, reminded me that it is the
liver that sends out that sugar and the natural way to control blood
sugar is body movement that significantly impacts the muscles. Otherwise
known as EXERCISE.

Four months ago, I seriously tried to
cut out any use of trans fats and recently my blood panel showed it was
worth the effort. Cholesterols and everything but glucose were well within
normal range. I lived into my 60's wihout glucose problems and it is really
hard to change my attitude .

Good Luck.
